Thanks for posting it on the Pass down group!


Calzones freeze very well for school lunches -have never used proscuitto but use pepperoni instead. Can't wait to try this recipe.


Thank you for sharing!! Can't wait to try this one! Keep 'em coming! : )


Sheba, we're past the 'school lunch' phase here, (thank goodness, lol) but we do have work lunches! Thanks for the info on the freezing. I've also used pepperoni (yum) as well as cooked Italian Sausage.


Thanks for sharing. We love calzones!
